Its compact Grand Concert design pairs a responsive Western Red Cedar top with neo-tropical mahogany back and sides, creating a focused tonal character with exceptional clarity, natural compression and impressive dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCedar reacts quickly to a lighter attack, making it especially appealing to fingerstyle players and musicians who rely on subtle dynamic expression, while mahogany contributes a woody midrange character, strong note separation and natural compression. The latest evolution of Taylor's V-Class architecture adds a scalloped profile for greater warmth, richer open-string resonance and enhanced low-end depth, while retaining the projection, clarity and pitch accuracy that define V-Class instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe innovative long-tenon Action Control neck strengthens the neck-to-body connection for added warmth, resonance and sustain, and it also simplifies setup: you can make precise string-height changes quickly without removing the neck or strings. A satin-finished neo-tropical mahogany neck is paired with a genuine West African ebony fingerboard and bridge for a smooth, fast playing surface, and the Venetian cutaway opens up the upper frets for melodic passages, alternate voicings and expressive lead work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaylor's Claria electronics system — developed with input from touring artists and live sound engineers — delivers clear, natural amplified tone with intuitive soundhole-mounted controls. Refined appointments including a green abalone single-ring rosette, Meridian Italian acrylic faux pearl inlays and Taylor nickel tuning machines complement the guitar's understated elegance, and a Taylor Deluxe brown hardshell case is included. Whether you're exploring intricate fingerstyle arrangements, accompanying vocals or recording nuanced acoustic performances, this USA-made acoustic-electric combines refined craftsmanship with a highly expressive musical voice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:1.5em;\"\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• String Type: Steel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Number of Strings: 6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Left-\/Right-handed: Right-handed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Body Shape: Grand Concert\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Back \u0026amp; Sides Wood: Neo-tropical Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Top Wood: Western Red Cedar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Top Finish: Gloss\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Color: Natural\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Body Bracing: Scalloped V-Class\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Neck Wood: Neo-Tropical Mahogany\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Neck Finish: Satin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Neck Shape: Standard Carve\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Radius: 15\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Fingerboard Material: Crelicam Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Fingerboard Inlay: Italian Acrylic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Number of Frets: 20\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Scale Length: 24.87\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Scale Length Type: Standard-scale\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Nut Width: 1.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Nut Material: Black Tusq\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Saddle Material: White Micarta\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Bridge Material: Ebony\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Tuning Machines: Taylor Nickel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Electronics: Taylor Claria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Strings: D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light, .012-.054\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• Case\/Gig Bag: Hardshell Case\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Includes Taylor Deluxe brown hardshell case\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModel# 512ce 12-Fret 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63385467093073,"sku":"109499","price":2999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/8936\/5585\/files\/img_4444a3a755f6.png?v=1793650662","url":"https:\/\/www.musiciansbuy.com\/products\/taylor-512ce-12-fret-acoustic-electric-guitar-with-case","provider":"MusiciansBuy.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
